In 2012, Deerhoof and Dal Niente played a show together in Chicago. They became friends and started a long-term collaboration. On April 29, they're releasing their first collaborative recording, Balter / Saunier on New Amsterdam Records. Listen to "Cherubim" above. The album features works by composer Marcos Balter with arrangements from Deerhoof's Greg Saunier. It features two longer works—one by Balter and one by Saunier (with a shorter piece by Balter between the two). There are more than 30 musicians involved. The album was self-produced, mixed and edited.

Dal Niente will celebrate the album at their 10th Anniversary Party in Chicago on April 30. It takes place at Dal Niente's Studio & 3rd Floor Commons at 4045 N. Rockwell.
